OK . . . as you can see from my picture, I am cute, right? For those of you that know me, you know I am really sweet and love to purr. So can someone kindly tell me why I did not get adopted last weekend? There were 11 kittens available for adoption and I am the only one that did not go home. I will say I was really hurt to see everyone being carried out in cat carriers and there I sat, waiting and waiting for my cat carrier, which never came. But I am going to be a good sport about this and accept that my special family was just busy last weekend and they will come for me this weekend. So special family, when you get to the shelter on Saturday, ask for Tessa. I will be waiting!

Tessa is a six-month old female domestic short hair brown tabby kitty. Click here if you are interested in adopting Tessa or another cat from Good Mews.

Good Mews is a cage-free, no-kill cat shelter offering an alternative to traditional animal shelters in the Metro Atlanta area. They provide a safe haven for homeless, abused, or abandoned cats until they can be placed in permanent, loving homes. Since 1988, Good Mews has placed almost 7,000 cats in forever homes. The shelter receives no government support and relies solely on donations of time, services, goods and money from its many supporters and local businesses. Good Mews is home to approximately 100 residents on any given day – most of whom reside at the Shelter in Marietta, with some cats residing in foster homes.
